The Boat Girls
The Boat Girls | Margaret Mayhew
2 posts | 1 to read
It is 1943, and three very different girls are longing to do their bit for the war effort. Frances - her life of seeming privilege has been a lonely one. Brave and strong, stifled by her traditional upbringing, she falls for a most unsuitable man Prudence - timid and conventional, her horizons have never strayed beyond her job as a bank clerk in Croydon until the war brings her new experiences Rosalind - a beautiful, flame-haired actress who catches the eye of Frances's stuffy elder brother, the heir to an ancestral mansion. The three become friends when they join the band of women working the canal boats, delivering goods and doing a man's job while the men are away fighting. A tough, unglamorous task - but one which brings them all unexpected rewards.

Finally caught up! #WordGirlInTheTitle

Another one where I couldn‘t just choose one. These are six of my favourite books with girl in the title. Amongst others these books introduced me to Dorothy Koomson ❣️, Lucinda Riley (in standalone form) ❣️, Margaret Mayhew ❣️Pam Jenoff❣️
Strongly recommend all six. The tagged book is a Great War story with a difference, just loved it!

Andrew65 @margreads Pleased to see I‘m not alone. I was interested to see how the story of The Kommandant‘s Girl was taken forward in The Diplomat‘s Wife. I wasn‘t expecting the connection. 7y
Crazeedi Just read the kommandants girl and the diplomats wife. Great job! 7y
